Fix, Unresponsive Touchscreen or Not Working issue on Poco X2

Check for hardware damage

If your Poco keeps restarting by itself after it was dropped or hit by a solid object, the most likely cause of the problem is bad hardware. In this case, the best thing that you can visit your local Xiaomi store or Service Center so a qualified technician can examine the device. If needed, they may send it in for repair or replacement.

Take off the screen protector

The next thing that you can do is to see if a screen protector is affecting the sensitivity of the digitizer. Try cleaning the screen with a clean, soft cloth. If that won’t fix the problem, just remove the screen protector entirely (if you’re using one, of course). Hopefully, that will bring the device to its working standard order, and everything would be fine.

Simple Reboot or Forced Reboot

Well, I think you already know how to restart your phone. So just restart the device and see whether it solves the issue or not. Restarting a device is always an ultimate solution for any issue. Not only Poco but this applies to every electronic device. I used to tell my mom to restart her device if she faces any issue with her smartphone.

Well if you still need to know how to restart then, here is it: Press your phone’s power button. On the screen, tap Restart.

The other way of the reboot is as follows:

• Press and hold the volume down button first and don’t let go.
• Press and hold the power key while holding down the volume down button.
• Keep both keys held down for 15 seconds or more.

If this doesn’t work then head to the next method. Rebooting your device regularly at least once every week can be beneficial.

Check for Black Screen problem

As the name suggests, a Black Screen issue’s primary indicator is the fact that the screen remains black no matter what one does. In this situation, the rest of the phone’s functions are working except for the screen. In this case, the best thing that you can visit your local Xiaomi store or Service Center so a qualified technician can examine the hardware. If needed, they may send it in for repair or replacement.
